Gd₂O₃:RE³⁺ and GdAlO₃:RE³⁺ (RE = Eu, Dy) Phosphor: Synthesis, Characterization and Bioimaging Application.

Citrate based sol–gel method is used to synthesize Gd₂O₃:RE³⁺ and GdAlO₃:RE³⁺ (RE = Eu, Dy) phosphors. In the present work, the phosphors are characterized using the techniques like X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) and photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL). Fluorescence confocal microscopy reveals the potential usage of phosphors in biological medium for biolabeling application.

Effect of Eu1+ and A13+ Concentrations on Photoluminescence of Gd2O3:Eu3+.

Gd2O3:Eu3+Al3+ phosphors are synthesized by wet chemical method and its photoluminescence properties are studied at different concentrations of Eu3+ and A13+. In emission spectra, the dominant peak observed at 611 nm corresponds to hypersensitive electric dipole transition in Eu3+. For Eu3+ concentration of 0.
